About this site
This dive site in Palau's Rock Islands features a steep wall plunging into the Philippine Sea. Vibrant soft corals and sea fans cover the drop-off, attracting reef sharks, barracuda, and schools of jacks. Strong currents bring pelagic action, making it ideal for drift diving. The top reef at 10 meters offers shallower exploration with turtles and colorful reef fish. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters. The site sits near Kayangel Atoll, surrounded by the Pacific's deep blue waters.
